Description:

• Environmental impact

  Solar energy can help reduce Africa's carbon footprint and contribute to global efforts to combat climate change. Solar power can also help reduce pollution.
• Economic development

  Solar energy can create jobs and provide economic development opportunities. Emerging economies in Africa can benefit from solar energy because they have fewer sunk costs in fossil fuel power plants than developed economies.
• Access to energy

  Solar energy can help provide access to energy in remote and under-served regions where energy access is limited. For example, solar energy can help irrigate and fertilize farms, which can help the 791 million Africans who have no electricity.
• Sustainable energy

  Solar energy can provide a sustainable and flexible energy solution for the future. For example, solar panels can provide shade that can help grow high-value shade resistant crops, extend growing seasons, and allow for continued crop production during solar generation
